Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh herbs instead of dried for this mix?
Yes, you can use fresh herbs, but you'll need to increase the quantity since dried herbs are more concentrated. Use about three times the amount of fresh herbs compared to dried. However, note that fresh herbs should be used immediately for the best flavor.
How long can I store this herb mix?
When stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, this herb mix can last for up to six months. However, for the best flavor, it's recommended to use it within three months. Always check for any signs of loss in fragrance or flavor before use.
What type of fish works best with this seasoning?
This herb mix works well with a variety of fish, but it's particularly good with white fish like cod, halibut, or sole. These milder flavors allow the herb mix to shine without overpowering the dish. It also complements chicken beautifully, making it a versatile choice.
